Jacks to Host New Hampshire in FCS Playoff Opener

South Dakota State will make its 14th consecutive appearance in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs and has earned the right to host a first-round game Saturday against New Hampshire.

Kickoff is set for noon at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium. Video coverage will be available through the ESPN+ streaming platform.

Tickets will be available online at gojacks.evenue.net. SDSU season ticket holders have until 5 p.m. Tuesday to claim their same seats, with unclaimed season tickets going on sale to the general public Wednesday morning.

Both teams enter the matchup with 8-4 overall records. Saturday’s game will mark the second-ever meeting between SDSU and New Hampshire, with the other also coming in the postseason when the Jackrabbits posted a 56-14 home victory in the 2017 quarterfinals.

SDSU is seeded 14th as an at-large selection from the Missouri Valley Football Conference. New Hampshire also was an at-large selection out of the Coastal Athletic Association. The winner will advance to meet third-seeded Montana in second-round action Dec. 6.
